Phillipa James, photographer behind 100 Women of Oxford, dropped out of college, but returned to studies on an art foundation and on to moving image, which gave her a good, creative career in film and television. However, the film industry is not conducive to bringing up a family (at least when both parents are in it) so Philippa took on other roles while her children were growing.
Feeling despondent and mentally unwell, Philippa realized that she needed creativity in her life, but how would that materialize?
It didn't come in a flash of inspiration, and it took a few years for Philippa to realize what she really wanted to do (and was good at), with the help of a few harsh words from a friend!
Find out more about her ups and downs, and ups again.
